Labour Minister and district-in-charge for Dharwad Santosh Lad has said that the State government had decided to decentralise the ‘Janata Darshan’ programmes and starting from January 2024, taluk-level programmes would be held.
Speaking at the Janata Darshan programme in Dharwad on Saturday, Mr. Lad said that after the new government was formed, the emphasis had been on redressing the woes of the people in an expeditious manner. This decision had been taken to do away with the burden of people travelling to district headquarters to air their grievances, he said.
In the three janata darshans held in Dharwad district so far, 730 applications had been received and of them 650 had been disposed off and those requiring a nod at the government level are in different stages of approvals, he said.
